LongMeadowRanchAndersonValleyChardonnay

Crafted at Long Meadow Ranch’s estate in Anderson Valley, this Chardonnay is made with the same thoughtful, meticulous approach applied to their Napa Valley wines. The cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean allows for a long, even ripening period, resulting in expressive aromatics, vibrant freshness, and moderate alcohol levels. Produced from estate grown and organically farmed grapes, the wine is aged for 12 months in untoasted French oak barrels (30% new), enhancing balance and complexity.91/100 â€?Nose of reductive matchstick with restrained apple and pear. Saline, mineral palate with spiced apple and oak. Vibrant texture and a long savoury finish. â€?Decanter

90/100 â€?em> Mango, guava and pineapple flavors rise to the fore of this light-bodied white, which offers just a hint of underlying butterscotch and crème brûlée. The oak is well behaved. â€?Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast
